SHE BOMBER

[Bon mots]

Sorry... was debating whether or not to post that one... couldn't resist! (Hey, the other wise-guys started it... ;-)

[U S Army EOD]

Remember we are talking national security here, I will try to stay serious with the rest of my remarks.

[sheik yerbouty]

The terror plans were written in Arabic, but a cunning linguist interppreted the foreign tongue in the nick of time!

[U S Army EOD]

Please don't get this started again.

[Henrietta]

"A cunning plan with no reasonable countermeasure."

Exactly, so why the heck are they bothering with the embroidery scissors and the swiss army knives? There are so many ways to bring down an airplane (remember that cargo undergoes minimal screening...), so why bother to strip-search granny?

Can I board my flight unmolested now?

[U S Army EOD]

Is there any way I can get my computer to subsitute the word "Bomb Bay" for "Vagina" to keep me out of trouble??

[Sidebar Moderator]

Try just sticking to the specifics of the posted article and not getting off on a tangent

[MissAmericanPie]

Ugh, I really hate those people.

[U S Army EOD]

Okay, I promise, (snicker, snicker)

[null and void]

Can I board my flight unmolested now?

Nope. Not as long as we are all waiting for the other shoe to bomb...

"Why hasn't anybody suggested we simply remove the restroom doors, put up a curtain for privacy and install security cameras in each head?"

Keep the door, install the cameras, and make the entire toilet ejectable with an attached parachute. Thus if anyone pulls out a suspicious tampon, the security monitor simply ejects the entire toilet and they can explain it to the police on the ground.

[U S Army EOD]

Whats the parachute for???

[DannyTN]

"Whats the parachute for???"

Parachute expands after the toilet is a safe distance from the plane. It's a safety precaution against trigger happy security monitors who might just eject old Mrs. Jones who doesn't even look middle eastern.

Besides you want to give our interrogators somebody to play with don't you? No since splattering the clues from 30,000 feet.

Also you don't want the toilet falling on you from 30,000 feet without a parachute.

I suppose the toilet needs to float in case you are overseas. And maybe the door needs to lock too, to keep the suspect held until he/she can be picked up.

Couldn't you make it cheaper buy just putting a strong spring on the toilet lid? If your design was used early in flight, everyone else would have to hold it. You could pass out the parachutes when they go in the head so they would understand what might happen to them.

Not really, 12 oz of Semtex-H would be about 8 inches long by 1.5 inches in diameter. --Boot Hill

Yep, and the fuze is pretty simple as well,just crimp the cap to it and it's set. no, I am not saying anything more .

[ALASKA]

I'm just thinking, like a soldier falling on a granade, her body would absorb most of the explosion. I thought the explosive must be really powerful for it's net effect not to be offset by igniting in about 100lbs of flesh and bone.

The article said they thought the bomber would go to the lavatory, remove the explosive, then detonate wherever she wanted. So, her body would not be a factor.

[U S Army EOD]

Inside an airplane, it wouldn't make any difference if it went off outside or inside her, the expanded gases would still need to be vented from the aircraft.

[DannyTN]

"Couldn't you make it cheaper buy just putting a strong spring on the toilet lid?"

Well I suppose. You want to eject the bomb too. So the spring would need to be under the floor. And then there's the possiblity the terrorist simply hold on to the toilet seat.

Encasing the alleged terrorist in the toilet though does allow him to be traced whereas if you just eject him and not the toilet, the terrorist could ditch the parachute and escape.

The downside of the ejectable toilet idea, of course is what happens if more than one terrorist is targeting the same flight. The loss of two or more toilets on a poorly ventilated airplane could create a terror flight of unknown proportions, not to mention a substantial biohazard.

Well then, close off the heads and make people use buckets in the aisles. The federal air marshalls could be trained to watch the buckets.
